The INSIDER Summary:

Over the past three years, matchmakers Greta Tufvesson and Nikki Lewis have set up thousands of dates on their matchmaking business, The Bevy.

The Bevy charges their male clients from $25,000 to $35,000 to find a match, though women can join for free.

So far, The Bevy has been responsible for more than two dozen marriages, but the founders say they don't use that as a measure of success. "It's putting people in meaningful relationships," Tufvesson said.

The Wallflower is perfect for a low-key establishment in a high-end neighborhood establishment.

The Wallflower, West Village

"I've never set up a bad date at The Wallflower," Lewis said. "It's just perfect — kind of low-key, but a high-end neighborhood establishment."

2/

Flinders Lane, East Village

"We [suggest] a lot of places where you can have drinks and order dinner if you want to, but it's not necessarily like a formal sit-down dinner," Tufvesson said. With a bar as well as a dinner menu, Flinders Lane fits that bill.

3/

The Soho Grand Hotel, SoHo

"The Soho Grand is great because you get those couches if you get there early," Tufvesson said. "[For a first date] it's about having space and being able to talk to each other, so we don't suggest a lot of crazy busy places."

4/

Suffolk Arms, Lower East Side

With an intentionally overwhelming selection of 100 cocktails available during Suffolk Arms' cocktail hour, it's a perfect spot to try something new. Lewis says they serve "the best cocktail I've had in the city."

5/

The Lately, Meatpacking District

The Bevy women chose The Lately to meet up with Business Insider. Its food menu allows the date to continue if both parties want to stay.

6/

Carbone, Greenwich Village

This famed Italian restaurant is just a short walk from the Comedy Cellar, making for a great combination date night. "If you don't have a good time at Carbone and then the Comedy Cellar, I don't know if you can have a good time with anyone," Lewis joked.

7/

Baccarat Hotel, Midtown

While many of their dates are set up Downtown due to its lively dining scene, for some Midtown action the two suggest the Baccarat Hotel and its "stunning" interiors.

8/

Suprema Provisions, Greenwich Village

Suprema Provisions is the perfect spot when you're "not sure about someone" quite yet, Lewis said. "You have a great escape [because] you can either spend the whole night there or have coffee."
